Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed to The City Paper that investigators are looking into an alleged incident involving a former Montgomery Bell Academy teacher.

Aaron told The City Paper, "As the result of information received by the police department’s Sex Crimes Unit on Monday, January 23, an investigation is underway into a then-teacher at Montgomery Bell Academy’s potential illegal conduct involving a minor. The investigation is in its infancy and will be active for the next several days."

Late last week, The City Paper reported that MBA had fired an English teacher from their middle school as allegations surfaced of an alleged sexual encounter with an 11th-grade MBA student and two other individuals. The identity and age of the other individuals has yet to be determined. None of the individuals were students of the teacher.

Because it is not known if she is a victim or not, The City Paper declines to publish the name of the teacher at this time.
